Adding Another Screenplay to Amazon Studios: THE WIDOW SPRINGER

I have just added another screenplay to my account at Amazon Studios — Amazon’s film and TV project. And I’m hoping that people will download the pdf to read and possibly review.

It has been quite a while since I have added a screenplay of mine to Amazon Studios, and much of the interface seems to have changed. In fact, I cannot find a particular option that apparently no longer exists.

What is most interesting to me is that the button to download the screenplay pdf seems hard to find, although the review button is very prominent. This seems to be promoting a review without someone actually first reading the script.

And truthfully, if people are not used to reading screenplays, they may find these difficult to read. When I worked as the client services person at a product placement agency in Los Angeles and had to read hundreds of screenplays, it took me awhile to accustom myself to this medium.

In fact, while I could often tell from a screenplay which story would make a good film, I could be way off base. My biggest “error” was the screenplay for the film MY COUSIN VINNY.

When I read the script, I thought it would make a boring movie. Then I saw the film — one of my long-time favorites!

In my defense, the actors made that movie. What was flat on the page became incredibly alive with flesh-and-blood characters.

All of this is by way of saying that, if you do read the script of THE WIDOW SPRINGER by my husband and me, you may find it flat even though I believe it is a compelling story. In fact, the screenplay has been optioned before but not produced.

Mitch came up with the idea for the story:

What do a former East German Security thug, the widow of an East German Security clerk, and an American CIA officer have in common? The answer is a shared destiny precipitated by the sudden collapse of the Berlin Wall.

After a few rewrites I joined in as we had both worked in U.S. Army intelligence in Munich during the Cold War (he as an officer, me as a civilian). We felt strongly about the betrayals that came to light after the Berlin Wall came tumbling down.

Buyers in Australia get more remedies per person than any other country. The diversity of medications marketed by companies is no doubt a contributing problem to prescription medicament abuse epidemic. At present more than half of men aged over 50 reported some degree of erectile difficulties. Have a question about Cialis and levitra 10 mg? Let’s find answers to most popular questions about side effects of Cialis. While ED is more common among older men, that doesn’t make it ‘normal’. Most likely every man knows about levitra 10mg. Other question we are going to is levitra 20mg. Orgasm troubles can usually indicate problems elsewhere. If you would like advice about Cialis, one of pharmacists will make approachable medicines that are suitable for you to take. You will then be able to buy the medicine.
